Unpopular opinion: When your sizzle video is 90% complete, it’s finished. Get the damn thing live. People nitpick for the sake of nitpicking. It’s just not needed. As far as sizzle videos go, the effort to go from 90% to 100% is expensive, time-consuming and pretty much pointless. This extra 10% is often spent on unimportant things: Special effects Fancy transitions Detailed graphics Yes, your sizzle vid needs to look professional and high-quality. But keep it clean and simple. I’ve always been this way, and it’s served me well throughout my career working with the likes of Coca-Cola, VW, Adidas, Uber, Heineken, Taco Bell, Twitch and many more. What’s my secret? It all comes down to efficiency. We don’t waste our client’s time or energy. We don’t keep our clients waiting longer than necessary. We don’t waste our client’s money tweaking things that don’t matter. We don’t strive for perfection at the expense of our clients. We don’t spend time on unimportant features. Once we’ve nailed the hook, story, message, narrative, CTA — we’re done! Everything else is unnecessary. And you won't convince me otherwise. #Trust #Gaming #Relationships

I am SO on board with this! I can’t even begin to tally the amount of time I’ve spent making changes that I knew the audience would never notice. Make the video that serves its function - that’s enough.
